After a mouth-watering description of the delicious foods, Markle notes that it's also part of a long-standing tradition.

"This was always eaten on New Year's Day, a tradition steeped in ancestral history in which each component has a meaning: the black-eyed peas for prosperity, the greens for wealth, the cornbread for health and nourishment," she writes. "It wasn't a New Year's resolution; it was a wish. It wasn't simply a meal; it was a story."
